Phosh 0.29 Released, Gnome for Smartphones

A new release of Phosh 0.29.0 took place, which is a screen shell for mobile devices based on GNOME technologies and the GTK library. Originally developed by Purism as an analogue of Gnome Shell for the Librem 5 smartphone, Phosh has become one of the unofficial GNOME projects and is used in PostmarketOS, Mobian, some firmware for Pine64 devices, and smartphone editorial office. Phosh utilizes the composite server phoc, operating on top of Wayland, as well as its own screen keyboard. The projects of the project are distributed under the GPLv3+ license.



In the new release:

  • In the falling panel, the interface for the selection of sound devices has been improved, providing detailed information about the devices.


  • Animation is enabled when automatically setting the HighContrast mode.
  • Exclusion of the screens used under the front camera has been ensured.
